-Dallen reacted to G.L. in HMS Triton cross section - FINISHED - by G.L. Scale 1:24
After the sanding I make the notches for the gun port lintels. As can be seen on the picture the frames on the port side are a bit to short below the gun port. Fortunately there will be planking on top of it.

When all the frames are in place, It is time for a first sanding session. Thanks to the large scale, I can use normal tools. After sanding I install the keelson.

Between the frames, a small piece of wood is glued temporally to keep the correct distance from bottom to top.

That will be a massive model...

On the plans, no limber holes are marked. I although think that they existed, so I make them, hoping that they are correct.

After sanding, I drill holes for the treenails. Some wood glue in it (goes easy with syringe) and then the bamboo nail.

Next day the frame is ready for further treatment: Sanding with the drum sander.
You see the result on the second picture. Holding the frame in hands, I am bit surprised of the size of a 1/24 scale frame. Compared with a frame of another project, a 1/20 scale shrimper, it looks enormous.

On top of the frame comes a second plate of glass and some lead weights. The glue can dry now.

The second layer is glued on the first one with wood glue.

I do not want to spoil my 200% copies, therefore I copy the frame drawing, using carbon paper. I lay the drawing on a plate of glass to have flat surface to assemble the frame. The first layer of futtocks is glued on the drawing with rubber cement. Between the joints of wood pieces I put wood glue.

I saw them out with the fret saw a little bit outside the lines.

Time to start with the frames.
That's a whole frame ready to be saw.

I glue the false keel on the keel. A friend made two brass tubes with screw thread to mount the model. The tubes are bolted on the building plate an two holes with a slight larger diameter then the tubes are drilled in the keel. The keel is pushed on the tubes with some glue in the holes.

I start my project with making a ground plan of the cross section and gluing that plan on a piece of MDF sheet.

I'm looking forward to your log also.
Definitely double check the copies for accuracy as sometimes (usually?) they don't copy at exactly 200% due to the machine not being accurate. It's a function of copiers and scanners at 100% to prevent counterfeiting of currency and many times that inaccuracy continues for enlargements and downsizing.

Thank you administrator for access to the download area and thank you tkay11 and Pete38 for the welcomes and all the others for the likes. I will try to make an interesting blog of it. First thing I did when I was in town was going to a copy-center to make scale 200% copies of a part of the plans and now I am thinking about the approach of the project.
I hope to come soon with a first report of progress.

Welcome to the build, 1:24 scale will make a nice big model. Looking forward to more

Dear Administrator and forum members,
Today I started my cross section project. I want to build my model in oak and in scale 1/24.
Making the keelson and keel is not such a big deal, just sawing the pieces to the right dimensions. To make the rabbet in the keel, I made a scraper out of an old iron saw blade. First I sawed a groove on the location of the rabbet in the keel, afterwards I sharpened it with the scraper.

The wales always seem to be thicker than the rest of the planking. They are named in relationship to their location. as such, channel wales are where the channel fastenings are. The planks below this are the main wales. The plank below the main wales are referred to as Diminishing planks or strakes and the thickness reduces to the dimensions of the lower planking. This is pretty basic and I’m no means an authority.

Amazing project for first build. Scale and presentation are fabulous. This scale would be much to intricate for my eyesight, but a joy to follow.

I have a mental breakdown just LOOKING at them.

I mean if by epic you mean covered in ornamentation cannons rigging and carvings then the answer is Sovereign of the Seas or Wasa. Both could probably cause a mental breakdown while building but what a way to go!
